Cuz it's a great idea to have Google store your voicemail for you since they've done such a great job with the rest of their security to date: https://www.google.com/accounts/ServiceLogin?passive=true&service=grandcentral&ltmpl=bluebar&continue=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2Fvoice%2Faccount%2Fsignin%2F%3Fprev%3D%252F&gsessionid=-dhQlDnEOMU

And if you wanted to check your ULA to see how they're planning on screwing you go ahead and check out their TOS page for voice: https://www.google.com/voice/help/terms Oh, wait... that's right, don't bother. They haven't posted one.

Well it's a Good idea for Google if they can amass information on thousands of people. I don't see how this is hurting Google's image right now. If anything, it's one of the newest trends that people will talk about.

Guess you noticed as well that while they seem to be 'in-topic', it looks more like a spam to get a link back to people search.. I was giving him the benefit of the doubt on the other two topics where he just wrote some "non-informational, on-topic pseudo-comments" (ran out of hyphenated words;) but now I think it's just plain old spam. :)

Funny thing is that in order to remove the spam link the account needs to be deleted since it's part of his sig.. unless Mr. id has a better solution.. that's of course if he's not busy chugging down some sort of 18oz brewed beverage..
